Chapter 344 - 344: Tracking Xander
"Are you stupid? With the current situation, it'd be a miracle if fifty people made it out alive. And even if there are a few more, Boss Xander would have no problem taking them," said the shorter man.
"Besides, over the last month, Boss Xander offered high-reward missions for drawing maps of the Trial Island, outside the base. The farther and more detailed the map, the greater the reward."
"The night before the trial started, he told us that as soon as we appeared on the island, we should regroup immediately. The ones who joined later are very strong, and only by sticking together can we face them."
"Boss Xander's goal is to take first place, and with his brother's backing, he's provided us with lots of good resources. Without that, do you think you'd have the chance to make it into the top fifty?"
"He spent so much to get us to help him gather points," the shorter man continued.
Many had joined Xander because of the power behind him and his generosity in distributing resources, which greatly enhanced the abilities of many participants.
"That's what they say, but are the ones who joined later really that strong? I heard Boss Xander has trained more than five Pokémon, and they're all pretty powerful. Having a strong backing really is an advantage," the taller man remarked.
"I don't know, but if they're making Boss Xander that cautious, they must be strong. At least strong enough to be in the top three."
"Also, it seems that Cain, the one Xander can't stop thinking about, has returned. We saw him on the day the trial began."
"Shh! Shut up! Don't mention that name in front of Boss Xander. Don't you know it's a taboo? Many have died because of it," the shorter man responded nervously, showing how deeply Cain had embedded himself in Xander's mind—almost like an obsession.
"Yeah, yeah," the taller man said, hurriedly closing his mouth.
